Well.. Skins are like tattoos, they go straight over, but there is a work around I believe..

You can make the skin semi-transluscent/transparent.. So things underneath show up, all be it, not as strong as they do.. Don't ask me how to do it though, I don't do textures very well hehe.. If you don't know, post so and I'm sure someone will tell you how :)

You need to make the skin semi transparent.

To do this you will need to make an alpha channel and use a shade of grey on the skin areas. Save as a .tga at 32bit.

If you aren't sure how to make an alpha channel, some one else might have to help you. I'm not very good at explaining things.
